...Amherst Saturday and was overwhelmingly defeated. The whole freshman team seemed demoralized. In the first part of the game Wood was pounded unmercifully, and numerous errors on the part of almost every Harvard fielder gave Amherst a tremendous lead. After the fourth inning Harvard braced and kept Amherst well down, and batted strongly herself. The game was lost, however, long before the end of the game...
...thoughtlessness and the excitement of the close contest. Under such circumstances, if an outlet of pent-up enthusiasm is absolutely necessary it can always be found in cheering the good plays instead of in hooting at the poor ones. The sentiment of the college on such matters is too well known to be more elaborately expressed. The men attending the games must understand that such boorishness will not be tolerated, and hereafter any sign of it should be promptly suppressed...

The need of a debating society in the college is so well recognized that a blow which might have proved fatal to another organization produced but little effect upon the Union, and even this has almost entirely disappeared. The attendance showed a marked increase over last year, and the debates have been not always confined to the principal disputants, as often happened formerly, but shared with animation by the other members. If the Union continues...
Tomorrow afternoon occurs the annual game between the Harvard and Princeton lacrosse teams. This game as it is well known is the contest in preparation for which the Harvard lacrosse team does its hard work, all things are made subservient, when it is a question of a victory or a defeat. Last year we lost, but this year in spite of many disadvantages we hope to see the crimson come out victorious.
